Chow Time: Christmas Meals On The Front Line

Regardless if their new homes were muddy trenches during WWI, mosquito netted barracks in Vietnam or a battleship in the South Pacific, thousands of miles away from home at Christmas, soldiers still celebrated the Holidays as best they could, with whatever food they could procure or were supplied.

Photos that should readily remind us to be thankful for what we have this time of year and maybe complain a little less should your Grandmother’s roast turkey be a tad on the dry side on Christmas Day.
